    It's on top of Sargents Mesa, about 20 miles west of Saguache. Good dirt road all the way to the top. I hunted elk there for many years. There's a column in the center of a circle of small monuments, and on top of the column is a small 60mm mortar. I never had a camera with me to take pictures. Wish I had.

    I found a similar memorial in the woods near Fort Devens on the east coast. It was for a 17 year old that was killed in action about 3 months into his first tour. Heart breaking to read and the secluded location made it even more moving.

    Agree!

    I think I just found my first expedition with the LC.
    I just bought a Jeep Wrangler. If you want some company on the trip let me know. Maybe we can make it a COAR-15 expedition.

    Kind of went a little blurry watching that.

    If it is in CO I would like to go there and leave a token of my respect.
